New parent here. Is it normal to pay $34,000 per year per child for child care in your country? I’m pretty shocked. 🇦🇺

My creative marketing agency, Codeword, is hiring account people! Senior Account Managers, an Account Director, and Account Managers. We work with tech clients like Google, Linktree, Qualcomm, and others. The agency has about 80 employees, but is owned by a much bigger parent company so the benefits are great! Most of the roles are based in NYC but we also have offices in San Francisco and Salt Lake City.

Message me if you have any questions and I can possibly refer you!

Flew for the first time today. Woman next to me took her mask off immediately upon sitting down and starting chatting loudly with her son. I asked her politely if she could keep her mask on and she proceeded to spend the rest of the flight fake sneezing and laughing giving me the side eye to see my reaction. What an inspirational mother.

Hi, I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. Doctors noticed my cervix is shortening and depending on my cervix check next week I may need to do a cervix cerlage (procedure to stitch cervix). Have any of u had this or have suggestions for me?

I have a parent who is making my life a living h$!!. Problem is that she has too much power bc she's best friends with the principal.

You know what's kind of fun? Sending Instacart shoppers to Hmart and seeing what they can find. Best shopper was a 20 something white kid, got it all, even found a jar of tiny fermented shrimp (새우젓). Asian shoppers didn't do well, lot of subs. Guy couldn't find Chappaghetti!?!

Anyone here purchase hospital indemnity insurance from their employer? My husbands company offers it and we’re unsure if it’s worth it or not. We’re hoping to have a baby next year.

Parents with ADHD. Can you please share tips and suggestions as to how you manage baby with adhd. I am a new mom and sometimes things are very overwhelming.

I have a 5 months old baby. My husband and I have being able to manage working from home and taking care of him. My husband is self employed so his working hrs are super flexible. We would like to go out on dates and have some time to ourselves once in a while. We did get a babysitter but for some reason am just anxious leaving my baby with her. Do you have hidden cameras in the house when you leave your kids or do you tell the baby sitter there is a camera or no camera at all.

Pregnant and have a 3 year old. I’ve been feeling very insecure in my marriage. Feels like we’re roommates lately, especially during quarantine. Is this normal?

My daughter is 23, years old, going for her HR bachelor. 4 years experience in HR coordinator and high volume recruiting in hospitality and aviation. She’s looking for something remote because of the baby. Any referrals ?

We have an autistic non-verbal child in my school who is destructive. He tore my room apart last year (I do not have him as a student. He got into my room during class change.)
We can’t leave our doors open.
We can’t let the kids in the hall if he is in the hall.
He has his own teacher and 2 aides.

Anyone else have a situation like this?
How does your school handle this?

Not at all work related but I’m wondering when folks moved their babies into their nurseries and out of your own rooms. My daughter is 3 months old and my partner wants to move her to the nursery in a few weeks but I don’t want to. I don’t have a rational reason other than I like being near her and am still waking several times a night to check on her and see that she’s ok. Is there a specific age where it’s recommended or does it not matter?

i’m absolutely spent and will have to hire a babysitter on the weekends. husband helps around the house but is not attentive with kid. feel immense mom guilt about a weekend babysitter since my 2 year old already goes to daycare .

Moving to Austin end of this year, with a new baby.

With ~$500k HHI and almost no debt, in which neighborhood can we practically afford a house? We do outdoorsy stuff (mtb biking, kayaking etc.) and also have a dog that likes to run.

Any suggestions are appreciated! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Does Deloitte give 6 months parental leave for men?

I recently got married and we’ve been trying to have a baby for the past 3 months because we’re both eager to have kids. I feel like we’re not having sex (2or so a week) enough to catch the ovulation windows. We work a lot and sometimes we’re not in the mood for sex after a long day. I’m 27 and all I’ve ever wanted to be was a mom and now I feel like it’s starting to happen but I feel like work is getting in the way. Anyone else feel/felt this when trying or am I just overthinking it all?

Pregnant ladies or ladies with kids,
If you were still working when pregnant, did you manage to keep your workday up to truly 8+ hours and keep your utilization intact? Or,
if you weren’t feeling well and stepped away, did you factor that into your timesheet?

Does anyone know if you accrue pto when you’re on maternity leave at Deloitte?

Copywriters: I’m going on maternity leave and we just posted a role for contract, 5 months. If you’re interested, DM me. You’d be working on products & product marketing. (Austin UA connected Fitness)

Pregnant with THREE babies. You saw that correctly. Why is maternity leave the same no matter if you have a single child or multiples at once? I don’t think I’ve ever been more scared in my life lol

What do you look for when reviewing director reels?

Anyone use gym pass? Pros/cons of it vs just joining a gym?

Happiness is shutting off all of your phone’s school related alarms and reminders because you are officially on break! Congrats to those who ended today! For those working next week fear not, for your turn is coming!!!!!

Hey Guys, I have applied to Accenture through their Accenture India portal and it's still showing pending review and my interview hasn't been scheduled yet. as I checked found out that pending review means the Application has been passed from HR to the operations team what should I do now as it's been more than 4 weeks and I haven't received any response from them and there is no way to contact them.i am getting a little frustrated about this

I wonder if now with cameras and the internet we’re going to see more and more trials such as Depp v Heard being broadcast for the entire world to see.

Big law fish please weigh in. I was reported to HR for "misgendering" a colleague that prefers she/her but used to identify as he/him. But all I said was "Bruh..." after she made a comment that shut down a conversation. I tried explaining that "Bruh" isn't really gendered but she apparently heard "Bro". I use "Bruh" and "Bro" all the time with female colleagues and it has never been an issue. And this was at an after hours summer event and we weren't talking about work. Was I out of line?

I have a student who 100% has adhd. I share him with another teacher (im pm shes am) and she says “hes very social so it cant be that”??? He had terrible behaviors. Aggressive, loud, coppies non-verba

Anyone running a search fund on here?
